The Scene At The Brooklyn Bridge This Morning, Where A Young Man Jumped To His Death

This morning in Dumbo we saw lines of firetrucks at the base of
the Brooklyn Bridge. There were dozens of firefighters looking up
at the bridge, where there were also emergency vehicles holding
up traffic during rush hour. A helicopter and
emergency water taxi were also circling the scene.

It turns out there was a 19-year-old man attempting to jump to
his death. Firefighters told us the man had climbed up the cables
to the very top of the Brooklyn Bridge, which is 272 feet high.
It's virtually unheard of for jumpers to make it that high.
